demonstrate a mix of technical, behavioral, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Consequently, competencies have become increasingly significant in modern organizations. Focusing on manufacturing contexts, this paper reviews workplace competencies, their evolution across major competence frameworks, and their relevance to managerial and individual performance. Drawing on McClelland's Competency Model, Boyatzis's Model of Managerial Competence, the Iceberg Model of Competence, the Korn Ferry Leadership Competency Framework, and Bartram's Great Eight Competency Model, the review traces the development of competency thinking. It further synthesizes individual competencies, including achievement orientation, analytical ability, interpersonal skills, planning and attention to detail, communication and listening, creativity and innovation, technical knowledge, customer orientation, and discipline, followed by managerial competencies, which include impact and influence, people leadership, initiative and anticipation, decision-making, team management and people development, and resource management. The review points out that organizational effectiveness depends on integrating individual competencies for employees and individuals as well as managerial competencies for individuals in leadership positions rather than examining them in isolation.
